Synopsis
Police detective Kate MacLean has finally landed a homicide case all her own, one her boss calls a "nice, ladylike murder," with no blood, no violence - just a neat overdose of morphine slipped into a cup of tea. Found slumped over her desk, the dead woman is a Liz Taylor look-alike named Catherine Fletcher, one of four partners in a new and struggling Seattle graphic arts studio. With a hundred-thousand-dollar life insurance policy on the victim held by the business, Kate figures it's a lead pipe cinch that one of the other partners is guilty. No doubt the Captain will be proved right. This is a ladylike murder for a lady cop - one corpse, one killer, one quick arrest.
But that's before Kate and her partner, Sam Morrison, discover that nothing about the lovely Catherine Fletcher adds up - from her finances to her love life. Then another dead body is found at the office, and working nine-to-five in Seattle starts to look like a high risk profession. Before long her gut instinct tells her the pieces of this deadly puzzle are held together by hate and revenge, but what is the big picture? How many bodies will complete a killer's final design? And will a pretty policewoman's death be its final macabre touch?
